Oasis Tease 2027 Tour Announcement With Manchester Drone Show

Manchester Drone Display Sets Monday Reveal Time

A massive drone light show hovering above Etihad Stadium in Manchester, U.K., flashed a clear message to onlookers on Thursday night, as reported by outlets including SPIN and RTÉ. The aerial display featured the iconic Oasis logo morphing into the date 14/09/26 and the time 4pm BST. Following the live spectacle, the band shared official footage of the performance online. The promotional video featured a soundtrack pairing the tracks Lyla and The Shock of the Lightning—two notable omissions from the setlists of the band’s recent reunion shows, according to reporting by SPIN.

Tour Rumors and Potential 2027 Destinations

The Monday event arrives amid widespread industry speculation regarding an expanded itinerary for 2027. According to SPIN and RTÉ, potential stops under discussion include a reported 12-night homecoming residency at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium and a return to Knebworth, where the band performed historic concerts in front of 250,000 fans in 1996. Additional location-specific teasers tracked by fans have pointed toward possible international dates in Glasgow, Paris, Amsterdam, Boston, and Rome. RTÉ noted that Irish audiences are also watching closely for any potential return to venues like Croke Park or Slane Castle following high-demand performances in Dublin during the initial reunion run.

Documentary Release Accompanies Tour Teasers

The latest tour teases coincide with the cinematic release of the new documentary Don’t Look Back in Anger, which opened in cinemas this week, according to RTÉ. Directed by Dylan Lovelace and Will Southern and written by Steven Knight, the film chronicles the lead-up to the group’s first shows in 16 years following their 2009 breakup. Speaking to the BBC about the emotional resonance of the project, Knight shared insight into viewer reactions. What we’re finding is people who’ve watched it, they have an emotional reaction to it and afterwards they think, well, you know what, I haven’t spoken to my half-sister for 10 years, Knight said. Maybe I should text, maybe I should call. And if that’s the effect it has, then I’m all for it. It’s great.
